All-Clad Forged Knives bring a perfect balance of craftsmanship and performance. The fully forged design features German stainless-steel blades* optimized by a cryogenic treatment for better performance, durability, and corrosion resistance. The 26-degree total cutting edge ensures expert cutting precision without chipping - not only promising to start sharp but to stay sharp (excludes utility knife, which has an 18-degree cutting edge).
